The Dude of Life and Phish – Crimes of the Mind

Crimes of the Mind is the debut album from The Dude of Life, a childhood friend of Phish leader Trey Anastasio and a lyrical contributor to many of Phish’s early songs. In fact, Phish is the backing band for the entire album.

The album was recorded in 1991 but wasn’t released until 1994 following Phish’s sudden surge in popularity. The Dude of Life performed several of these songs in a live setting with Phish on a number of occasions.

The main riff of "Self" was taken from the Phish song "Chalkdust Torture."
